For ‘KEEP IT GLASSY 2’, the conscious choice was made to focus on displaying concepts or projects, instead of mere objects in glass. The intriguing stories and smart strategies that hide beyond the surface of the design pieces show that designers make use of the specific traits of glass to shape their ideas for a better future. In the exhibition, four rooms highlight four different angles that can be taken when envisioning the future, through glass: Adornment, Sustainability, Innovation and Preservation.

A 1,000 m2 former workshop at Shanghai Museum of Glass Park was turned into a sleek backdrop for bright design visions. Visitors are led through a dimly lit showcase of future thoughts and concepts. Lines of light frame ideas and guide the visitor through a space that can be considered a vortex between now and tomorrow. Dark grey walls and floors enhance the feeling of timelessness and offer a stage for ideas and objects in glass to stand out.

‘KEEP IT GLASSY 2’ shows more than 30 views on how we can build a better future through glass. The exhibition aims to show the vast pallet of ways glass can be applied to move forward in time.
